This is for the entire United States, and has a national index, so I can do lookups for states other than MO as well as for unknown states. One caveat--if I get lots of requests, I may be slow getting back to you, so please be patient.

For your information, forwarded from another List: <<The news last week was the NGS interlibrary collection will be coming to the St. Louis County Library in Frontenac and will be available probably in January 2002. It includes 20,000 books, maps, family histories, etc, worth about $1M. Thanks to Curt Wichter, Ann Fleming, and the St. Louis County Library system for arranging St. Louis as the collection's new home, and many thanks to Julius Hunter for arranging the free transportation of the collection. The collection is coming from the NGS Library in Virginia, and is a 98-year collection. Items can be interlibrary loaned from St. Louis County to your local library after it is catalogued and on the shelves. Of course, this same library partnered with LDS last year, and the LDS microfilms can all be ordered from St. Louis County Headquarters' Special Collections location.>>
